I am worried about what I will do if I get no offers this year. I'm going to be in a bit of a Barron situation.

I was thinking like that too, but we’ve got to stay positive!!! :smile:

The people were all so nice! just try and stay chilled out and chatty! they should send out the manual dexterity task a minimum of 48 hours before hand via email if not give them a ring. good luck :smile:

I’ve got an interview for plymouth on Monday and haven’t been sent anything for a manual dexterity task … my interview is at 8.45 in the morning !

Hii you’re right this is so overwhelming :frown:

Are there any recourses for the interview you think are helpful

With regards resources, there isn't many specifically for dental hygiene and therapy HOWEVER how I prepared is I used dentistry applicant resources (YouTube videos and documents). Crazy I know...but not really. See essentially what we are doing is applying for a course that is dentistry related...all the difference is is just in the scope of practice. There are plenty I mean PLENTY of resources out their on dentistry interviews... when I tell you they are EXACTLY what you'll be asked I mean it. So instead of typing 'dental hygiene/therapy interview questions' in the search engine type 'dentistry interview questions and resources'. I hope that helps and trust me you'll feel so much better after doing little research!

Sorry call me mean spirited but I'm not going to give tips as I had to go into it cold.
I would say plymouth are pretty decent at giving you some direction as how the interviews look. It was exactly as they had explained, it just makes more sense when you are actually sat there.
Think about the characteristics that they say they are looking for, it might hint at the type of questions they will ask.

For people due to have interviews on Monday, I hope you've received the task details? That needs to be an urgent phonecall otherwise.

Unfortunately its rarely many, like 1 or 2. I always wonder how many actual course places there are when they post on Extra also. Things have been so crazy this year that I do wonder if there will be anything. Always potential for a surprise though!

I hope so…
I’m shocked at entry requirements for Bangor uni considering it’s a new course and only HYG.
I’m a dental nurse with 2 post quals, so limited.
